Makeup Before and After (Pornstar Edition)
Well this is only my second before and after post. So I decided why not make it exciting, so of coarse I did not use my own stuff since I'm not the most erm.. scandalous type. Before you judge me I have to defend myself by saying I am posting this and viewing this strictly from a beauty stand point . So with no further adue.... drum roll

SKIN SO CLEAR! ( Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser)
To continue with my posts concerning clear skin, and how one might achieve it, I have chosen to review Cetaphil. Before you think that it won't work for you, hear me out. PLEASE!
My interest in biology has granted me an understanding of the skin layers and how many of the face washes and scrubs we use disrupt the skin and eventually lead to breakouts and loss of skin tightness.
So let me break it down for y'all. As you may have read on the back of bottles, or heard in commercials; your skins has a natural oil barrier and you need to remove dead skin cells. Well lets start with the "natural oil barrier". When you regularly wash you face in the morning and at night, you probably use a face wash or soap, both of which foam up unlike Cetaphil. Now when you have makeup on, you think that you need this foam to properly cleanse your skin. I'm sorry, but this theory is FALSE. The foam in fact removes more than your makeup. It removes all of your natural oils. This causes dryness, which in the long run makes your face produce too much oil. Also since your skin is bare, any dirt it comes in contact gets in the skin and causes your hideous breakouts. I have used Cetaphil on a night outs worth of makeup and although I did have to wash it twice, it took the makeup off completely.
For the second argument, the idea of "removing dead skin" is in fact correct. You do need to remove the dead skin so that it does not deepen wrinkles or store dirt. But what you also should know, is that you do not need to remove all of it. The way I think of it, is on a microscopic level. So imagine you are a mini 'you' on the surface of your skin. If you remove all the dead skin with an exfoliant, eventually you would get down to the surface of the "alive skin" and would start scratching it. Obviously that is NOT good. So you might think, how do I know when I've reached the new skin? Just think, do you really produce that much dead skin and need to exfoliate every day or second day? ( the answer is no if you're wondering) So yes, you do need to exfoliate, so I have to admit Cetaphil can't do it all. But only twice a week and do so in gently manner.
In conclusion, I do have to be clear, if you follow this regime you will not wake up the next day with clear skin because your skin has to readjust. But trust me, I have done this and it has cleared my skin up completely, TWICE!
PS. If this does not work for you, please see a dermatologist since this most likely means you are more prone to break outs genetically and no face wash will permanently do it for you.
CETAPHIL retails for about 8 pounds.

Foods for GOOD Skin
So if your like me your always trying to find the right skin regime and eat healthy because you believe there must be a secret formula to perfect skin besides the doctors office. Well I have done a bit more research an have found some new tips conferring your diet to possibly improve your skin. The following are 8 founds that are proven to benefit your skin. Here they are!
| Eating guava, pineapple, papaya, kiwi, and other tropical fruits that contain vitamin C will help defend your skin against damaging free radicals. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that is naturally found in the skin, so eating tropical fruits and other vitamin C–rich foods can replenish your skin's stores. Vitamin C also helps your body produce collagen, a protein that helps keep your skin firm and elastic. |
| This veggie is high in antioxidants, including vitamins C and E. The vitamin C in broccoli aids in collagen production and keeps your skin healthy and supple, while vitamin E protects your skin cell membranes and guards against UV radiation damage. |
| The vitamin E in almonds can help nourish your skin and protect it from the sun's damaging UV rays. Just be sure to eat them in moderation, since almonds and other nuts are calorie–dense. |
 | |
| Whole Wheat Pastas and Breads Another skin–friendly antioxidant is the mineral selenium, which is found in whole wheat pastas and breads. Selenium helps protect your skin against environmental damage and promotes elasticity and general skin health. High–dose selenium supplements have been linked to health problems, so it's always best to get your selenium from delicious food sources |
 |
| carrots keep your skin healthy and vibrant. Carrots are high in beta carotene, an antioxidant that is converted to vitamin A inside the body. It helps repair skin tissue and protects against the sun's harsh rays. Enjoy carrots raw in salads or with a low–calorie dip, or try roasting them to develop a rich, sweet flavor. (Bonus! Cooked carrots deliver even more skin–friendly beta carotene than raw ones.) |
| Pumpkin seeds are a skin superfood because they're so high in zinc. Zinc protects your cell membranes, helps maintain collagen, and promotes skin renewal |
 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, and rainbow trout all contain omega–3 fats, which help fortify skin cell membranes, protect against sun damage, and may also reduce the risk of certain forms of skin cancer. These healthy fats allow water and nutrients into the skin while keeping toxins out, and may also fight inflammation in the skin. |

How to Make your LIPS Appear Plumper!
So first I must give myself credit for the gif above since it was created by yours truly! I was writing a post on how to apply ones lip colour in order for your lips to make a statement and possibly even look larger. I take myself as an expert on this since I suffer from a small lip dilemma and enjoy wearing lipstick. When i decided to make a gif to make it clear.So I will delay no more....
1- Apply lip liner that is the same size as your lipstick or apply a nude lip liner contouring the outside of your lips. This is important since lipstick bleeds out through fine lines and wrinkles and trust me even if your 13 it will bleed eventually; so do it !!
2- Apply the first coat of your lipstick and then take a tissue and lightly close your lips on it. (as light as if you were kissing some one) It is normal for it to take about 50% off. This step is to ensure it lasts longer.
2x- Apply a second coat of lip stick (same colour).
3- Apply a darker tone of the same colour to the inside a your lips in a dabbing motion. Try not to blend / rub your lips together to much since you are not trying to combine these two tones to your overall lip.
4- Apply a highlight to the middle section of lips. Again do not blend to much.
Hope you find this helpful and please holla if you have any inquiries.

Manicure TIPS
Want to make your at-home-manicure last longer?Then instead of rushing apply two thin coats of colour
polish. This is better than 1 thick coat. Thick polish can bubble,takes
longer to dry and chips faster.Therefore making that previous cheat to save time actually a sentence of forever having to repaint your nails.

How-To to Fix DEAD ENDS (Alberto VO5 Hot Protein)
Besides a minor dose of writers block that had recently invading my brain; I also have been busy trying out some new / old product to recommend to y'all. The product of this post is an oldie, that up until today when I examend my lifeless hair today I had completly forgotten its magical ways.
Alberto VO5 is usually a cheap line that never delivers but when it comes to their mousse (which I will review at a later time) and Hot Protein Moisturizing Intensive Creme Treatment they more than deliver, they cure your s%*Ty hair.
I figure a little background of my hairs history is needed to describe how much this product helps. I have had almost every hair colour and for the past two years I have been bleaching the F%*& out of my hair. But then a year ago I started using VO5's Hot Protein after I shampooed my hair and toweled dried it. Then I placed the packed in boiling or really hot tap water for a minute and followed this step by putting it evenly in my crappy hair.Make sure to put it root to tip or for me I focus on the areas that need the most moisturizing (my tips). A good idea is to leave it in your hair for a couple hours tied up or simply however much spare time you have then thoroughly rinse and air dry. No point in blow drying to ruin your hair further!
The result may vary but for me I have said goodbye to my dead ends and split ends by using Hot Protein.
